Life-saving shore

The picture was taken on 26th April 2009
One day I went to Shabla's lake ( Bulgaria . After many hours of waiting for the right moment I was desperate, because nothing was happening. I just started to pack my equipment when a snake came towards me. I turned over and saw the mouse climb over the blade. I waited for her to climb to the top to make a great photo. The light was amazing, and I was on the right place, at the right moment. Then I thanked her for the wonderful feeling that she gave me!

Thank you for your comments all! The photo was published in the Bulgarian edition of National Geographic magazine. This was the perfect gift for my 17th birthday.
